I'll reach out to Colwood to see if he either has any, or has "created one". I was thinking I could kludge something together, but I would rather have the right part if I can get it.

Thanks Brent.

You and me both on the education. I knew there would be both a learning curve and some interesting finds. It's been a fun journey so far.
